Broken Promises

SC: Engaged

"Bawas na bawas kaya wag mo ng ituloy 'to kasi I will really say no." I sarcastically said, he knows I'm joking so he finally kneel in front of me while holding my hand.

"Attorney Kate Araneta, I've been in love with you the first time I saw you, you've been my ultimate crush and I adore you for being strong, mataray and kind at the same time. You never failed to make me amazed by how you fight for the people you love and even the people who are not related to you, you caught my heart the day you scolded me because of my katangahan as you said. In all the rejections, the hindi pwede, the hindi mo gusto, ayaw mo itigil ko, it never give me a single reason to give up instead it motivated me to pursue you harder. I already know the hardships I will be encountered the day I decided to pursue you, a lot of mountains were needed to be climbed and a lot of threats were needed to be heard pero wala eh, mahal talaga kita kaya kinaya so you can't say no now. Aya, Iya or what nickname you may have, my love in front of your family and mine, I would be really grateful if I hear from you that you also want to spend your life with me. So, with all my bravery I ask you Attorney Kate Alliana Viktoria having a true blood of two of the most powerful surnames in the Philippines Marcos-Araneta that I never felt you are because of your humbleness and simplicity, will you marry me my love?"

"You should've informed me about this, I wasn't prepare at all you moron. As you said the first time you saw me you were in loved right away but I never felt the same thing because what I felt for you was irritation when you deliver us a fake news, anyways, ang tibay mo at ang tapang mo you were able to invite my family here even my dad, my tito, my cousins and my kuyas, you're unbelievable-

"Oh love, you don't know what I am capable of doing because of you.."

"I never knew that the man I saw in the hospital that made me so much irritated will be the man that I will spend my life forever, so Yes I will marry you."

He smiled genuinely as he slipped the ring into my finger, he kissed it before standing up to hug me tightly. I glance at our families and they were also crying while clapping, daddy is also crying.

I raised my hand as I smiled to all of them, they immediately rushed towards us to give their greetings.

"Congratulations mga anak!" Tita Rachel, Paul's mother congratulated us, she hugged me tightly as she kissed my forehead.

"Thank you tita.." I replied, she caressed my hair and wiped my tears.

"From now on, I want you to call me mommy, mama or what you prefer okay? Welcome to the Family, anak." She conveyed, I smiled genuinely as I hugged her again.

"Congratulations Aya.." my tita Imee, the woman who never left me. She's in tears right now, she invited me for a hug and I immediately accepted it.

My mother.

"I love you ma, I love you so much.." I softly whispered, she kissed my forehead.

"I love you too anak, you will always be our forever baby girl." tita Imee replied, I turned to tito Bong, tita Liza and mama Meldy.

"Congratulations apo, I'm so happy for you. I know that Irene is so proud and happy for you right now." mama Meldy said, I hugged her tightly.

"Congratulations anak.." Tito Bonget interjected, he kissed my temple and hugged me also same with tita Liza.

My cousins and their partners also congratulate me.

"Congratulations princess, your mom is surely happy for you too." Daddy whispered, I pouted as my tears started to form again. I hugged him tightly, he kissed the top of my head a couple of times.
